The R1 say they hit 307kph down the straight. Fairly moving. Other cars having issues. Although word is a few Open class cars are already sub .30's if that's to be believed.
The menu reads pretty well this year. Hopefully not too many kitchen accidents to ruin the meal! (Not sure why the food analogy but I'm sticking with it).
The RP968 may or may not have the new motor/s ready. Even with the old one they're testing pretty well this year. A ton of things to shake down.
New ECU, active suspension, totally different exhaust - turbos system and of course the new motors. Oh, and there's going to be some more stuff going onto it this year too.
So many things to get right and go wrong. Some project to manage!

Yeah Pat atleast 1 of the open class cars has been in the 29s in testing thou not last friday. Clubsprint should be red hot with Jordan Cox jumping from his Civic to an Evo, thou I reckon he will have trouble keeping the BYP boys at bay with their old white S2K back and an old EK R Civic driven by Steve Wan. Should be a few cars in the 38s this year, maybe even a 37 or 2 ??

r8 is pro am, but for open if all goes well you would think morcom,casmiri,longhurst, you guys and garth

i would expect well under 30 in a perfect situation for most of the cars

Yeah sorry George, meant R8 1:1 and yes in Pro-Am. I guess with Mick Sigsworth not running this year it has opened that field up a bit but these guys along with other foreign entrants will be way behind 8-ball as far as track knowledge goes.
I'd think we're well at the back of that pack based on lack of testing and / or driving. I'll be happy to finish...actually start the event. Paul did a .31 the last time out with very little testing and theoretically a much less potent motor. Nor have we ever run at more than 450whp. Probably less. So who knows. Some of those other guys have done a fair bit of testing and have shit tons more power than we had. I'd love if we can get on the podium but I'd say unlikely.

Yes there was a NSW Time Attack..not sure if its still running or not?
They ran it at Wakefield.

I did this NSW Time attack round June 4.
They changed the name to AUS Time Attack.
Was run by CAMS. 2 classes. Open and Clubsprint (200 treadwear tyres but didn't have to be Yokohama)
All other rules similar to WTA.
